Massachusetts Gas Prices Drop 15 Cents A Gallon In Last Month

BOSTON (CBS) – Gas prices in Massachusetts have fallen 15 cents in the last month, according to AAA.

The agency’s weekly survey released Monday shows the average price for a gallon of self-serve regular is now $2.64. Unfortunately, it’s 19 cents higher than the national average of $2.45.

“Trends are indicating December might bring some of the cheapest gas prices of the year,” AAA spokeswoman Mary Maguire said in a statement. “As long as U.S. gasoline demand remains low and supplies plentiful, motorists can expect to save at the pump as long as the price of crude oil doesn’t spike.”
